COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 4, 1S87.-It Is anus
| ing to see the desDera, ion shown by the
Republican leaders of Ohio during. th(
present campaign. They see the tide
that is about to emerge them In deer
water, and they are trying to get out Oi
way Of the food, but 1t is Of no use, 81
they are just as sure to got swsmpsd or
the 9th OF next November, as the 9Th Oi
November comes. One of their great
est exhibitions Of desperation is the
large, incessant, and as they will find
out when 1t is too late, the useless
amount Of lying they are now doing
about the movements and actions of the
Democrats. As one Of them remarked
the other evening In front Of the Neil
House, when aeCosted by another Re.
publican, and asked why he couldn't
once In while tell the truth, replied,
that the orders from headquarters were,
that the Republican writer who could
manufacture the biggest falsehOOd,
would, IL Foraker was reelected, get
the hest appointment he had In
his gift, and he was working hard
for IL. This fellow is ably
assisted by three persons employed, two
on the Commercial Gazette, the leading
Republican paper In Ohio, and spend
the greater portion of their time in
COlumbus-FTed. Mussey, Jim. Boyle
and Sam. Shafer. Their presence here
will account for the large amount of
reckless political lying which appears
daily In that paper, written from Col
umbus.
But then 1t is source Of amusement
to see q number Of young Republicans
In this city, who despise the ground
Foraker walks on, aud intend to vote
for Tom. Powell, going to these and
other Republican sCribblers, and tell
them some Outlandish story, As thew
say, for the purpose Of seeing 1t in print.
When chided about telling these fell
lows, such outrageous falsehOOds, their
reply is that they will do anything TO
beat Foraker and his gang, as they have
40 use for such fellows as him, and ii
they can get this to be a regular lying
campaign on the part of the Republican
press. that much easier 1t will be to de
feat Foraker, They will succeed,
BoMBAsTEs FURIsCo
is one Of the latest names given to
Skin cane" Foraker, by those Republi.
cans about Columbus who have per.
feet contempt for the man in every way,
shape and form III which be may appear,
The other day as ''skin cane" was going
along the pavement where several Of bis
Republican enemies were standing, one
of them asked the question, "Why Is
little breeches' there like drum major
at the head OF brass bandP" The reply
from one and all was-"GiVA IL up"
Because" said the person who had
asked the question, "he put on so many
airs and Is about az much account"
That there Is getting to be perfect con.
tempt for Skin cane" Foraker among
the better class of Republicans every.
where, especially among those who are
blessed with what is unfortunately q
scarce commodity in that party, brains,
Is becoming more and more evident
every day. There are at least fifty men
In Ohio today making Republican
speeches, who have such contempt for
"Bombastes Furisco," that they never
mention his name when addressing the
people. But then, what is the use of
talking so mush about Skin caneP 1t
ts somewhat useless, as he will talk
himself to political death between now
and the 9th Of November, with that
mouth of his; and as Republican
paper before us says: "He Ia a small
Drained blatherskite QuiVeTing with the
jim jams of sectional hate" But then
we are glad he Is "going to talk 80
much with his Notwithstanding had
some fifty appointments, made In differ
ent parts of the State, to open that
mouth OF his, between now and the 9th
Of November. Let him talk. The more
be does that much larger will the
majority be for the Democratic ticket.
